A nash manual page
(http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/nash8.html)
describes it as follows:
nash is a very simple script interpretor designed to be as small as
possible. It is primarily designed to run simple linuxrc scripts on an
initrd image. Arguments to commands may be enclosed in either single or
double quotes to allow spaces to be included in the arguments. Spaces
outside of quotations always delineate arguments, and so backslash
escaping is supported.
It was (and probably is) used by Fedora and its derivatives (eg., Red
Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS) as part of the boot sequence. Other
distributions might be using it or something else. So if Debian is not
using nash, then Fencepost may not have libnl which nash pulls in
these days.
NetworkManager is targetted for desktop and laptop users, not servers.
So one can expect a XO from the OLPC to have it, or a default install
of GNOME (possibly KDE too) to have it, but not a shell server, like
Fencepost, to have it.
